What Rising Apartment Supply Means for Texas Renters (2026)

Texas delivered more than 100,000 new apartment units between 2024 and 2025, the largest supply wave in state history. Vacancy rates now exceed 10% in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and Houston, giving renters stronger negotiating power and access to move-in concessions worth $500-$2,000. Average rents across major Texas metros have flattened or declined 1-4% year-over-year. RedRiver Rent tracks verified apartments across Texas with real-time pricing and availability.
